In this electrifying episode of the Chapter Athletics Running Podcast, we sit down with Tim Vincent, one of Australia’s top marathon runners and a fast-rising name on the international stage.

Tim opens up about his journey into elite running, the training mindset that keeps him sharp, and why Zone 2 running is a game-changer for endurance athletes.

We also take an unexpected detour into the world of Pokémon GO, exploring how it syncs with running (yes, it works!), and hear some jaw-dropping stories from Tim’s races around the world. Plus, we get to know the man behind the marathon — what fuels him, what he’s learned, and what he’s like when the racing shoes come off.
